Johnnie loves his train ("The General") and Annabelle Lee. When the Civil War begins he is turned down for service because he's more valuable as an engineer. Annabelle thinks it's because he's a coward. Union spies capture The General with Annabelle on board. Johnny must rescue both his loves. There is another version on the Archive. This one is full 720p high resolution and crystal clear! From the folks at myretroflix.com
"In 1953, a new version of the film was created by Raymond Rohauer, a film distributor and collector. The movie was re-edited with an introduction and music. As of 2013 this version is under copyright, as Rohauer filed a copyright registration in 1953 and renewed the copyright in 1983."
You'll have to check if this is the version is copyrighted. It may be.
I first saw "The General" in a local art-film house, accompanied by a live organist. My wife gamely tagged along...and ended up leaping from her seat, yelling and cheering and laughing.
Many thanks to the uploader for this one. A tremendous movie...and, at last, a print that does it justice.
